- In a garden belonging to Mr James Halpin of White Cross which formerly was owned by the Tiernan family for generations stands a stone cross. About three hundred yards from this school Mr Halpins place stands. Mr John Tiernan's grandfather took this cross from a field at the back of the school called the Cross field. He took it up with horses and erected it in his garden which is now belonging to Mr Halpin. Under this cross there are some stones which belong to the Cross.
